caption_attribution_description: English: Y Lôn Goed Y Lôn Goed (Wood Lane) was constructed from 1819 to 1828 by John Maughan through the land of the Talhenbont estate to facilitate the transport of lime and peat. It runs about five miles from Afonwen to Hendre Cennin. Over the past year Gwynedd Council have carried out improvement works to this historic lane, including repairs to the path, new gates and handsome signage. The verse is from the poem "Eifionydd" by R. Williams Parry.

context_page_description: Robert Williams Parry was one of Wales's most notable 20th-century poets writing in Welsh.
context_section_description: He earned widespread recognition as an established poet when he won the chair at the 1910 National Eisteddfod for his poem 'Yr Haf' ('The Summer'), which has been described as "the best known and admired of all the eisteddfod awdlau of the 20th century".
  He published two collections of poetry; Yr Haf a cherddi eraill (1924) and Cerddi'r Gaeaf (1952).
  Some of his most notable works include 'Y Llwynog' ('The Fox'), 'Eifionydd' and Englynion coffa Hedd Wyn. In the latter he laments, using the traditional four-line verse, or englyn, and cynghanedd  the death of the poet Ellis Humphrey Evans at the Battle of Passchendaele  in 1917. Evans was posthumously awarded the Chair at the National Eisteddfod of Wales.
  "The chair ... today stretching out its arms in a long peace of silence for the one who hasn't come."
  There is a fine short biography and appreciation of his work by his cousin Sir Thomas Parry in the Welsh Biography Online.
